Another glimpse at Inception, director Christopher Nolan’s return to theaters after mega blockbuster The Dark Knight. This is the IMAX Spot, and you just have to love Nolan, who comes back at us with a SF concept with a loaded cast that includes Leonardo Dicaprio, Marion Cotillard Cillian Murphy, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Ken Watanabe, and Michael Caine. We got a look at some of them yesterday, when we posted a gallery of new stills from the film. You come off off one of biggest movies in history, you figure you can do anything you want with your next project and to go all high concept Science Fiction on that ass is why Nolan has been a G since Following and Memento–this is nothing new, this is just how Nolan gets down, making film we don’t know we like yet (but undoubtedly will). To help us learn more about the cast noted above, a couple days ago a featurette was released introducing and spotlighting them to us.
Inception enters our minds on July 16th.
Film Synopsis - Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan directs an international cast in an original sci-fi actioner that travels around the globe and into the intimate and infinite world of dreams. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief, the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him a coveted player in this treacherous new world of corporate espionage, but it has also made him an international fugitive and cost him everything he has ever loved. Now Cobb is being offered a chance at redemption. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible–inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime. But no amount of careful planning or expertise can prepare the team for the dangerous enemy that seems to predict their every move. An enemy that only Cobb could have seen coming. This summer, your mind is the scene of the crime.
